Clients Reduce Complexity & Costs with PowerVMOsram Sylvania / IBM Solution Benefits

“Consolidating our workloads on Linux on POWER… is helping us to significantly lower operational costs, reducing dramatically the IT complexity”. - Miguel Angel García Hafner, technology manager, Telefonica Moviles España

Improved system response time by 2x Reduced CPUs 4X and power and cooling costs Simplified administration, lowered costs Flawless migration

Migrate and consolidate 48 UNIX® and 13 x86 servers to 11 System p™ servers running PowerVM

“The combination of the advanced features of SAP ERP and the flexibility and scalability of the System p servers will combine to deliver ongoing competitive advantage to OSRAM SYLVANIA, through better business performance and lower operational costs.”

- Jeffrey Ruck, Director IT Infrastructure Services, Osram Sylvania
